Sift Secures $3M in Series A Funding

Sift, a Detroit-based modern people directory which aims to make work more human, completed a $3m Series A round of financing. In conjunction with the funding, Mike Malloy, Chief Amazement Officer at Rock Central and Jared Stasik, Partner at Detroit Venture Partners, will be joining Sift Board of Directors. The company intends to use the funds to expand sales and marketing teams and to accelerate product development. Led by Larry Angeli, CEO, Sift provides a platform that allows colleagues to find and understand one another, leveraging search across attributes, dynamic people profiles, and navigable org charts that are built directly from an organization’s data. It integrates with existing HR data systems, collects additional information from team members and LinkedIn, and works as a stand-alone solution or embeds into intranets.
